SAHYADRI
- BHIMSANKAR JYOTIRLINGA |
|
|
| The
boons of his invincibility and the impregnability of his cities
emboldened him infinitely and so he started abusing his powers. With
the turning of head, he turned upside down of everything held
sacred, laudable and live worthy hitherto. His launching on a
campaign turned out all successful and installed him as the Lord of
universe which ended in making Devendra, await his bidding. In
conformity with asurapalana, the Vedic rites were discarded;
ascetics dishonored; hermitages destroyed, and yagna yagas
discontinued. The woe-struck people fled, and mother Earth wailed
unable to bear' the burden of the injustice dancing naked everywhere
-- Dharma reached the lowest ebb. The afflicted approached Lord Siva
with the supplication for His instant intervention. The enormity of
ignominy brought to Dharma devata and destruction thrust upon the
people moved Him. Promising to taking up cudgel against Tripurasura,
Lord Siva sent them away.
